What the Critics Are Saying...

The Nokia 3.1 Plus has a vibrant display despite being of HD+ resolution, and the phone offers good battery life too. I even like the design, especially the aluminum back and soft rubberized finish. But when it comes to performance there is clearly room for improvement. The Helio P22 is a good chips...

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is a great entry-level smartphone with a few compromises. One should consider the Nokia 3.1 Plus if they are looking for a smartphone with stock Android OS, excellent battery life, dual VoLTE, and a dedicated micro SD card slot.

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is not the most competitive phone at its price level; not by a long shot. No matter how good it looks on the outside, it's hard to ignore just how much smoother the usage experience is with other models. If you're spending this much money, you should expect nothing less, and physi...

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is a very classy and bears a rock solid Nokia-style exterior. The fluid and optimised stock Android experience is an added cherry to the top. At Rs 11,499, the device offers a large 6-inch display for overall good multimedia experience, a really good pair of cameras, with an above...

At first, the Nokia 3.1 Plus looked like a promising offering, but Nokia's odd-pricing has put the phone in a weird spot. The phone's strength remains in its design and uncluttered software experience, but the Nokia 3.1 Plus struggles to put out a commendable performance.

If your 3.1 Plus has problems and is still within its warranty period, you could contact Nokia support or the retailer you purchased the phone from. You'll find Nokia's contact information here. If your phone is off warranty and needs repair for a physical problem such as a broken screen or bad battery, you should visit an authorized service centre or a local phone repair shop.

Amazing battery life with the goodness of stock Android OS

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is a great entry-level smartphone with a few compromises. One should consider the Nokia 3.1 Plus if they are looking for a smartphone with stock Android OS, excellent battery life, dual VoLTE, and a dedicated micro SD card slot.

Looks and feels good, incredible battery life

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is not the most competitive phone at its price level; not by a long shot. No matter how good it looks on the outside, it's hard to ignore just how much smoother the usage experience is with other models. If you're spending this much money, you should expect nothing less, and physical durability isn't worth much if your needs are going to outgrow its capabilities within a year or two.

Yet another classy Nokia on a budget

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is a very classy and bears a rock solid Nokia-style exterior. The fluid and optimised stock Android experience is an added cherry to the top. At Rs 11,499, the device offers a large 6-inch display for overall good multimedia experience, a really good pair of cameras, with an above average stamina.

Lost in Ambition

Classy design with a questionable price

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is a budget phone with a not so budget pricing, which is perhaps what most people are going to be talking about the most. At Rs 11,499, the phone is pricier than the Nokia 5.1 Plus, which comes with a better chipset. But with that being said, the Nokia 3.1 Plus is also a classy phone.

An incremental upgrade to the predecessor with a weird price tag

While there are more powerful phones in the segment, the Nokia 3.1 Plus makes a space of its own. It's well built, has more than a day of battery life like the good old Nokia phones. Although, the 720p resolution display is a let down for that 6-inch size.

Not on the Plus side

Compared to its main competitors, there’s a sense of something missing with the Nokia 3.1 Plus. For instance, there is no notch display and Nokia hasn’t incorporated facial recognition either. Nokia’s attempts to reclaim its lost glory in the budget segment will need much more than the Nokia 3.1 Plus.
